NSW quarantine hotel worker tests positive to coronavirus

ABC  

Health authorities are racing to identify the source of infection of a security guard who has tested positive for coronavirus. Key points: The worker is employed at the Sofitel Wentworth and Mantra in Haymarket The 47-year-old security guard received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on March 2 His household contacts are isolating and have so far tested negative The positive case breaks NSW's 55-day streak of no locally acquired coronavirus cases. NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said the "working hypothesis" was that he had been infected by a positive case in quarantine at the Sofitel between 7:00pm on March 6 and 7:00am on March 7. "That allows us time to work through and ascertain the nature of interaction that this security guard would have had to those quarantine workers," Dr Chant said. Guard was due to receive second Pfizer vaccine this week NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the guard received his first Pfizer vaccine jab on March 2 and was due to receive the second dose this week.
